609 Sqn Typhoon Skin
« on: September 02, 2004, 09:26:41 PM »
here Is my work in progress....
almost done.

Its atyffy flown by R P Beamont  in 1943
"Tally Ho"

Im giving it the look of a well used plane!  lotsa dirt and scratches.

this is the skin images  but not full size.

The main Dissapointment is that the Cannon fairings are supposed to be yellow too.....  unfortunetly thier maps were thrown ontop of the wings,,,,,  Boooo   so I can't colour them Yellow.

(sorry Images load slow)





the fusalage texture ,,, i find stretches alot on the actual model and is not seamless at the top... so im trying to sort that out,,, lotsa trial and error..

Very good work :)

Now I can start to be critical :D

To used to be a squadron leader plane (they used to have the brand new plane)  

Beamont plane is a Car door version and we have a bubble top late war tiffi but HTC already accepted a 1942 car dor paintjob for our typhoon so ... it should work.

You need to replace the group capitain marking by a squadron leader marking.

The panel lines are missing the fish plate on the tail (I'm nitpicking here)

That is very good Monkey Meat.  I love how you blended the invasion stripes on the bottom into the original paint, it looks very realistic.

hey Straffo,
and others.

Critiques are always welcome.,...    

  first point yah ,,, its a bit weathered but,,, hell they used dirt and grass fields,,, so maybe it can be justified that way.
(mainly I just want it to look good in game, artistic licence  :)

   Looking through a book I have, a lot of the paint chips and scrathces seem to be acutate (mainly based off an image of ground crew allover a tempest wing... reloading ammo etc.)
lots of scratches froom walking around and general maintnace.
Lets say this version is near the end off its run with beamont who would get his new plane soo. . .  :rolleyes:   lol . .  something like that. . . . let me know if my BS is working  :)

  The cardoor version ,,,, yes  you are right,,, it was the early version before the bubble canopy,, that had this paint job.. and like you said  some one else got away with it also,  and there is no version of the early Tyff with the cage canopy with the car door.
so hope that is cool with every one, ,
  But did he have a bubble canopy Tyff ,, with this kind of paint job before he moved onto flying a tempest?

whats the difference between the group leader and suadron leader marking.. . . not clear on this, , ,   the default Tyff skin has this Triangle colour badge, ,   and the version im making has a full rectangle badge..?  is this it?
  The problem is that this badge on the default skin is a extra piece of geometry, , , and its in that shape ,,  so havent got there yet but I can see that being  a problem,, ,  can't fit a rectangle into a triangle hole.. .  ..   hmmmmmm   haven't tried since I was 3.

  What do you mean by fish plate panel lines?   The  main hull of the texture is not finished yet, , , so not all panel lines etc.. are not there yet, , ,   but  what are the fish plate?

wow that was long,,,  need a breather...

  I will post images of the WIP skin from screen captures,,, maybe tonight, ,

  I have a question, , ,  Should I put Rivets in.... or not ,, ,  I kinda think they are a bit to busy   on some of the models, , , , The tyffy model is really low poly, , , so there is alot of stretching on the hull as well,. , , , may make the rivits look bad.

MnkyMeat, to have a skin accepted by HTC it must be 1024x768 resolution (or at least I think so).  Most skinners take the original bitmap, stretch it to 1024x768 and then pretty much make the skin by scratch.

Other than that it looks incredibly amazing!

Very good job with many details. Nice. A bit less weathered (it's only my personal oppinion) and its a dream. Go ahead with such skins.

Oh yes youre fine.  As long as the skin file is 1024x1024 you'll be ok.  I meant 1024x1024 instead of 1024x768 earlier as well.:D

Keep up the good work, im anxious for a screenie!
